The Story Of Daemons

Daemons usually run in the background. Thus, they should be traced using 'strace -p' or 'strace -f <daemon progname>'.

Daemons often fork off child processes, making the strace output from all of them go to a single log file, unless we use 'strace -ff'.

Daemons are passive - to test them we use 'strace', wait till they are ready, and then connect a client to them and look at the strace log...
